So i guess next step is they will let me know when the change will happen? then i'll have to configure my v4 box.

Any tips on this?

You can check if the service is active by using BT's Charge Advice service:

Lift handset and dial *411# and listen for message. Replace handset.

Make a UK 01/02 call (preferably evening or weekend so, if you're still on BT, it'll only cost 4½p). If the exchange automatically calls you back immediately after the call with the approx cost of the call, you're still on BT. If there's no immediate call back, the call has gone (free) over Primus.

You can switch off BT Charge Advice with #411#

There is no need to use the 1280 prefix when switching Charge Advice on or off (even after Primus has gone live).

Thanks s0 much! How long does it normally take to switch over?

10 to 15 days.

Many thanks!

deefadog

Righty then! Looks like it all gone through today, no call back from bt

Got the cw client open, so is it just a case of adding "no routing" to eveing and weekend calls?

Also what calls are free on primus option 2 - only local? or others? (can't see it on their website)

'No Routing' (a 0 in the box) for 01 and 02 calls.

All (not just 'local' - whatever that now means) UK 01/2 calls of up to 90 minutes between 6pm and 8am Monday to Friday and between 6pm Friday and 8am Monday are free.

PM me an e-mail address and I'll send you an Excel file showing how the relevant parts of the CW Client program page look.

Yes, you want Primus Saver Option 2.

You may be able to get it to come up using muffinhead's clever workaround - but I couldn't get that to work myself yesterday.

Just tried to get this to work. USwitch only offered me Primus Talk 1

The workaround just worked for me - did you follow miffinhead's post exactly?

deefadog

Well workaround never worked for me neither, so have put in a claim with quidco! Fingers crossed

Also, i have logged into my primus account, but i can't see my bill untill the first bill is issued. is there anyway to check my calls before this? - Just still a bit nervous these free evening and weekend calls are still with BT (I have dine the ring back trick and it does seem i have gone over)!

No - one of the shortcomings of Primus is the lack of the ability to view a 'near real time' call log online.
